Droid Explorer 0.9.0.2 Released

I just published a minor update to Droid Explorer. This fixes a couple bugs with the Shell console where some lines that should be on a new line are not. There are some new shortcuts now added to the start menu for quick access to launch the shell console, device backup, apk installation, taking a screenshot, and to launch the screencast plugin.

Also addressed is an issue where some older devices do not show up in the device selection. This was because Droid Explorer now uses ‘adb devices –l’ to get more detailed information about the device, but it appears that some older devices do not display this information. To resolve this, it will try to look for the additional information, if it isn’t found, it will fall back to use the information without the details. A downside to this, which I may address later, is the device icon will not be the true device icon because the web service will not know what device it is.
